Even though HTTP DEFLATE saves ~20 bytes compared to GZIP, it itself is a wart because of some vendor misunderstandings. HTTP DEFLATE is actually DEFLATE data wrapped in a zlib container, not raw DEFLATE.

I just implemented decompression in my HTTP client this week

I could not test that part because both server I tried send raw deflate, without zlib container
